A grandfather who continues to disregard the law has escaped jail despite racking up his 25th driving conviction.
Telamea Oge, of Mangere, was convicted in the Manukau District Court this week of driving while indefinitely disqualified.
It was his 10th driving while disqualified conviction, the latest on a long list including 15 drink-driving offences.
Solicitor Soana Moala said his driving record "looks ugly to read" but he had not been in trouble for two years.
She said he also helped care for two grandchildren, aged 5 and 15 months, who live with him and his wife.
